.NASA's Scientific Balloon System's 5th balloon mission of the 2024 autumn campaign flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the agency's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student System) objective stayed in flight over 11 hours prior to it securely touched down. Recovery is actually underway.HASP is actually a partnership amongst the Louisiana Room Grant Consortium, the Astrophysics Branch of NASA's Scientific research Objective Directorate, and the firm's Balloon Plan Workplace as well as Columbia Scientific Balloon Establishment. The HASP platform supports approximately 12 student-built hauls as well as is made to trip examination small satellites, prototypes, as well as other small practices. Since 2006, HASP has interacted greater than 1,600 undergraduate and college students involved in the missions.Teams joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 flight consisted of: College of North Florida and also Educational Institution of North Dakota Arizona Condition College Louisiana State Educational Institution Educational Institution of Colorado Boulder College of the Canyons Fortress Lewis University Capitol Technical University University of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster College (Canada).A new, larger model of the High-Altitude Pupil Platform (HASP 2.0) possessed its own design test trip a handful of days prior. HASP 2.0 will certainly have the ability to accommodate twice as lots of pupil experiments as HASP 1.0 once functional in the following year.The staying 3 balloon tours booked for the 2024 Ft Sumner drop project await upcoming launch possibilities.
